KnifeStreet Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) I’m looking to collect a complete set of the first pressing’s colors, and I am very close to finishing my hunt. Only one left for me to find is the “friends & family” variant on clear vinyl w/rainbow splatter. Mainly buying since I don’t have a whole lot for trade yet. If you have a copy that you’re willing to sell, or can help lead me to someone who does, please let me know! Cheers, -Chris Edited December 21, 2017 by KnifeStreet Only need the rainbow splatter!!!

deer Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Best of luck!! That rainbow will be mighty expensive right off the bat. I imagine you'll find someone with an orange who'll sell eventually, really hope you get all these together because it's a damn beautiful set.

Yeah, the rainbow splatter will be nearly impossible, but as of this afternoon I’ve managed to deal for everything but that and the green tour version. Got a friend trying to connect at one of the MA shows for me, we’ll see. Got purple in hand, and indigo, blue, yellow, orange and red coming my way. Wish me luck!

KnifeStreet Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Two to go!!! Anyone going to a show on this tour? Could really use help landing a green copy! And a splatter would be nice, of course. Either one, I’m buying if you’re selling. Cheers! Group Buy Guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnifeStreet Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 Tour starts tomorrow, is anyone going? Willing to pay for the record, shipping and a helper’s fee for assisting me, send me a message! Group Buy Guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deer Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 If I were in the US I'd help you out, sadly I'm going to a show in the UK next year to pick up the green so shipping would be nasty. If you haven't got it by then (april), let me know. I'm sure someone here can help, though. Group Buy Guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnifeStreet Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 I know folks are hitting the tour and getting copies on green, anyone want to step up and help me land one? Group Buy Guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnifeStreet Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 Thanks to a great board member, I managed to pick up up a copy on green from the tour. That leaves me looking for the final piece of the puzzle, a copy of the rainbow splatter on clear vinyl “friends and family” variant. Anyone willing to part with one, or that may know someone else who is, PM me a price or contact info. This will be the biggest collection of first pressing variants I’ve ever managed to finish, so wish me luck! Group Buy Guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnifeStreet Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 Possibly getting an extra tour copy from another friend, which I can trade along with PayPal for the rainbow variant. Really want to complete this set! Group Buy Guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnifeStreet Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 Still hoping to land this one, anyone seen a copy available anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was offering other sealed f&f copies of their albums for it and people weren't even slightly interested. If I remember correctly, one person on here got one randomly when they PO'd the red, that might be a start. good luck friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about reaching out to the band or DW inc. directly, but figured it might seem like cheating if I asked them to hook me up. I’m sure anyone who gets one and actually collects will hang on to it, but you never know! Which f&f versions do you have? I might be interested in AWLWLB. If I get desperate, I might reach out. Might actually have to at this point, with a release this popular there won’t likely be a lot of these turning up. Guess it all depends on how @jbannon, @tre or @CalebDW respond to begging, haha. Either way, thanks for the info! Edited December 29, 2017 by KnifeStreet Added pic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnifeStreet Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Weekly bump. No sign on Discogs or auction yet, anyone seen it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnifeStreet Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 This is a white whale situation, haven’t seen a single one available since it was released! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that’s pretty much what I expected anyway. Even without that one, I’m stoked to have the other variants, but this would just be icing on the cake. Doubtful that I’ll manage to land one here, or that I’ll be quick enough (or have enough cash in hand) to land one if it hits eBay or Discogs, but it can’t hurt to try. Going to keep searching, but not going to make it my top priority, and not going to obsess over it. There’s still a lot of great stuff coming out, new and reissued, so it’s all good. Once in a while I’ll bump this to see if anyone has a line on a copy. Thought about writing Deathwish Inc. or the guys in the band about it, but didn’t think that would get me anywhere. I’m sure they have more than enough actual friends and family to give these to, haha. Still, wish me luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
